Can anyone explain this use of もし? I thought it had to come before ～たら or ～えば.

> もしテレビで観たという方、ぜひぜひツイッターで教えてください。

question
grammar
もし without ～たら or ～えば


I find this slightly non-standard, but fully understandable. I think it's a
mix of the sentences

> テレビで観たという方、ぜひぜひ... People who saw it on TV, please...

and

> もしテレビで観たという方がいれば、ぜひぜひ... If anybody saw it on TV, please...

I don't think there's a hard rule that もし has to go with ～たら or ～えば, but it
needs to precede some kind of condition. For example, もし～場合(は) and もし～とき(は)
are also possible.
